Naúfrago es el título del último material de Siddhartha , a quien probablemente ya habrán escuchado con alguno de sus videos, " Domingo " o " Extraños ". Otro dato interesante del jalisciense es que por un tiempo fue el baterista de Zoé durante la gira en la que la banda promocionaba su EP The Room , además de grabar con ellos uno de los álbumes clásicos de Noiselab, el Memo Rex Commander y el Corazón Atómico de la Vía Láctea . En Náufrago , Siddhartha trabajó con Aldo Muñoz en la producción, [...]
![[Interview] AM & Shawn Lee](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4604706_lg.jpg)
Interview AM & Shawn Lee WORDS and PHOTOS by TRAVIS GILLETT AM & Shawn Lee are characters; fast-talking, curse-swearin', and utterly awesome. The first thing I noticed was Shawn Lee's accent, an endearing drawl forged from his upbringing in Nashville combined with spending the last 18 years residing in Foggy-London-Town (read: "London"). His accent is the definition of "Southern Gentleman." I was able to sit down with the band and prattle off random questions for the electro-soul duo while they [...]

I am amazed by the amount of the amount of dust that I'm still finding in places after Outside Lands this year... Yes, it was good fun, but it's time to enjoy some music indoors, over concrete. And, well, we've got a wonderful week of excellent music on our docket. Thursday, August 16th Cherry Poppin' [...]

Kudos à Weekly Tape Deck pour m'avoir rappelé l'existence d'AM & Shawn Lee, respectivement américain et anglais, qui ont sorti en début d'année Celestial Electric, leur premier album. Sans être franchement enthousiasmant, car je trouve que la plupart des morceaux ne décollent finalement jamais et l'ennui pointe même parfois son nez, les deux artistes réussissent [...]

I explained most everything in the previous set about these but I wanted to make a separate post on AM 's DJ sets that might be the best thing I've ever heard in my life. I'm a bit confused about all of it but I've gathered some information, AM aka George Ben Sun resides in Echo Park, Los Angeles, makes overseas music with Shawn Lee and creates hour-long DJ sets ranging from French disco to old synth-laden TV/Movie Soundtracks to psych Nuggets to slow funk to bossanova. If my dreams were soundtracked I would pay every penny AM to [...]

This is serious stuff. AM & Shawn Lee are creating some of the most overlooked music in the world right now. I can say that only having been one of these most recently, it's like rubbernecking at the scene of an accident when a Ferrari is driving by you. The music these two men, separated by most of the North American continent and the Atlantic Ocean, are creating is utterly euphoric and blissful. Soft nods to kraut-rock, the 60s and 80s psychedelic movements, dub/reggae and the essence of Summer sounds. Sidenote: When saying music sounds "Summery" these days there is [...]
AM & Shawn Lee is a collaboration between LA-based indie-pop auteur AM and London-based groovemaster Lee, who pooled their talents to create a unique brand of jazzy electrofunk. For their debut album, Celestial Electric , AM and Lee worked from their respective hometowns, trading ideas and tracks via email. Combining a broad array of influences, their heartfelt, warmly melodic soundscapes underline the artists' love of vintage genres, encompassing soul, funk, jazz, Brazilian tropicalia and more. The pair are currently putting the finishing touches on their new album, which should [...]

Neither AM nor Shawn Lee are new faces in the music industry. In fact, according to Wikipedia , the Los Angeles-based AM's music has been featured in over 100 television shows and movies. He's previously toured with the likes of French band AIR, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and Brazilian superstar Caetano Veloso. Meanwhile, Shawn Lee was quite busy himself having worked alongside folks such as the Dust Brothers, Jeff Buckley, Money Mark, Princess Superstar and Psapp. The two musicians met when AM reached out to Lee after having heard Lee's music played on a Los Angeles radio station. The two quickly discovered a [...]
Experimental pop-project duo AM & Shawn Lee have unveiled the video for their single, "Dark Into Light" from their upcoming album Celestial Electric which drops on March 6th in the UK ( you can grab it in the US now ). As we previously mentioned back when we shared "City Boy" with you , the album came together via email as Los Angeles-based AM and London-based Shawn Lee swapped ideas for songs from their respective homes. The final product is a laid-back album full of airy vocals, sweeping synthy melodies, and grooved out beats that [...]

Sharon Van Etten Editor’s Note: I don’t do “Best of” or “Top” lists, but I do like things … as hard as it might seem to believe. I’m going to post a few editorials between now and the end of the year about the various things I’ve liked about 2011. For me to do a post on all the songs I liked that came out in 2011 I'd have to type for about 20 hours straight. I'm going to pair down the list through a couple of parameters. [...]

The result – warmly melodic songcraft underlining each artists love of all manner of genres, encompassing pop, soul, funk, [...]
